Each spring, repair shops welcome us as we replace blown tires and straighten bent rims on our test cars. But if Jaguar Land Rover's new pothole sensors work, we could kill this cycle entirely and free up money to spend on more important things, like company-paid prime-rib dinners.

Jaguar Land Rover, drawing data from the road-sensing magnetic shocks in a Range Rover Evoque, is working to record the magnitude of road impacts, tag their location, and upload them to a cloud server where other drivers would be warned of a potential pothole, sunken manhole cover, or deep storm drain. When combined with a stereo camera—two optical cameras positioned close together for judging depth, such as onSubaru's EyeSight system—the car could precisely locate that hole in the road, snap a pic, and report it to the local public-works authority.

In the same way that Magic Body Control claims to work in the new Mercedes S-class, the Range Rover's shocks would also prepare for impact if the driver doesn't heed the warning, tensing and slackening accordingly (we've found the Benz feature works best only on speed bumps found in Europe, and it can't react fast enough for potholes).

the sensors have plenty of work to do on a Nigerian road, infact they will even get confused for naija.

the indicators will be permanently switched on.

walahi,
even newly constructed roads are not left out ..... our roads are worst.

BUT: this osun state wahala is much, no salary no road... went to Ikirun via Oshogbo, the roads were nothing to write home about.
on sunday going toward Ife, saw this clean Jaguar (own by a chief/oba) d driver opened the hood didn't know what to do, the car bumped into a pothole guess the system now crashed.
I believe the sensor will help a lot, good innovation

Naija roads go crash their servers
